"My son has got the militia fever badly"
said an uptown citizen last night.
"How does It affect him - asked a re-
porter for the REPUBLICAN,.
'He has got the whole family drilling, and
Imust confess that have weakness that
may myself"
"You have not answered me yet"
~ simply mean that he has got the mil
itia business at heart. He has got his
mother, two brothers, sister, two cousins,
the servant girl, and myself formed into a
company and he puts us through the same
drill that be goes through the night before.
We ain't perfect yet, but by the time he
gets through with US there is no doubt that
we will be success"
"How old is your SOM"
"Ile is now about 20 years DID,"
"What is his rank?"
"Privste In one Of the new companies"
"Don't you think he will get cranky on
the drill businessY"
"He is an enthusiast, but am glad of It,
am proud Of my boy, and am going to
encourage him to be number one militia
man. You see the National Guard business
has done one thing that is deserving OF
credit-it has brought together hundreds Of
young men, formed them into bands, and
the nights they give to drilling and social
chats would otherwise be spent on the street
corners or in I ool rooms. The boys will
learn to be obedient, and feeling of pride
will be stirred up In them that will show
good results. My son has already told me
OF some young men in the companies who
heretofore frequented pool rooms, but since
their entrance into the National Guard they
are the most faithful members. am wei

HOUSE OF DETENTION.
A n Institution tho District Badly Stands
in Need or,

John Keefe, of II street northeast, be-
came violently insane last night, and it re.
quired the combined force Of six police
men and citizens to remove him to the
sixth precinct station. He will be sent to
the insane asylam. Hls imprisonment last
night In cell showed the necessity OF a
suitable place for the detention of such
persons. The morning reports of the po.
lice frequently show one or more arrests
OF Insane persons. In the same con-
neetion, 1t might be well to speak OF
the needs OF a suitable place to remove
drunks found on the streets. The police
say that the greatest troubles they meet
with are from drunks, and they readily ad-
init that the cell is no place for such char.
aciers. A house of detention would be q
suitable institution, and 1t could be used
for many purposes, especially for witnesses
This last class are now held In the station
houses, and, although given a small room
and poor accommodations, they are made
prisoners as much as those locked up in
cells

New YORK, Aug 31.-wall street wa.
treated to a couple of genuine surprises to
lay, and the effect OF these was TO enhance
the value Of certain stocks very materially
rs well as to put anew face upon the specu-
latiye situation. Early IN the day IL wa
officially announced that the Baltimore an1
Ohio express had been sold to the Uniten
states Express Company. The latter CON
pany's stock jumped % per cent, from yes
ierd0y's price, and the street jumped to the
conclusion that the other Baltimore ani
Ohio properties were also disposed Of, thu
stttling the great deal A great rush H.
cover followed, and with the more confident
buying by the bulls prices shot up rapidly
The announcement followed that thu
Oregon Transcontnental, by dispDslug OF
some OF its securities, had settled its debts
aud placed Itself upon q firm basis, Oregon
Navigation responded with jump OF 3 pc.
cent. and the general list sympathized. A
check was given to the advance by re-
newal OF the selling In Manhattan aud It.
plice touched lowest figures yet. The mlr.
ket recovered from this shock, however.
